“We buried over N20m in the production of that film and people were still viewing it with a certain degree of cynicism. Immediately there was a scandal, it caught fire.
“I even called my sister the day before and she said that it will backfire. I said No. I understand people’s mindsets. They have a propensity for gossip and bad news. There’s no way it would backfire.”Iyke said.
